Answer:
I dont know if you mean .05, but if you do mean that it would be the hundredths place. (if this isnt the right one I'm sorry.)
y = -5x + 24
y = 4x - 21
Since both of these equations are equal to Y, theyre equal to each other.
So we can make an equation with y = -5x + 24 in one side and y = 4x - 21 on the other.
-5x + 24 = 4x - 21
Now in order to get the value of x we need to isolate it in one side of the equation. We can do this by subtracting 24 from both sides of the equation:
-5x + 24 - 24 = 4x - 21 - 24
-5x = 4x - 45
Now we subtract 4x from both sides so the 4x shift to the other side
-5x - 4x = 4x - 4x - 45
-9x = -45
Finally divide both sides by -9 so x is by itself
(-9)÷(-9x) = -(45)÷(-9)
x = 5
Since we did all of this to BOTH sides of the equation, both sides are still equal to each other and the equation still is true.
Now apply x = 5 to either of the initial equations to find the value of Y
y = -5x + 24 or y = 4x - 21
(I'll do both but u only need one)
y = -5(5) + 24
y = -25 + 24
y = -1
y = 4(5) - 21
y = 20 - 21
y = -1
Either way, X is 5 and Y is -1
Answer (5, -1)
Y=0 would be a horizontal line. An asymptote is a line that a function approaches, but never reaches. Exponential functions such as these are a smooth curve. If both numbers are positive numbers greater than or equal to 1, the curve increases. If at least one of the numbers is a positive number between 0 and 1, the curve decreases. If <em>a</em> is a negative number, the curve decreases as well. If either <em>a</em> or <em>b</em> is zero, then the graph would stay constant at 0. However, as long as neither <em>a</em> nor <em>b</em> is zero, then this graph will never touch that point. The only way to get an answer of y=0 is to multiply by 0. If neither <em>a</em> nor <em>b</em> is zero, this won't happen.
